RESIDENTS & POSTERS

ARTE SCHOLARSHIPS AND POSTER SUBMISSIONS

Thank you for your interest, the 2018 ARTE application is now closed.

Residents are eligible to attend the ODAC conference at a 20% discount. Use code RESIDENT at checkout to receive your special pricing.

For the 15th consecutive year, the ODAC conference has integrated a specific track into its program, tailored specifically for dermatology residents: Advanced Resident Training & Education (ARTE). And once again, we are delighted to extend 150 scholarships to qualifying US-based dermatology residents.

The workshop focuses on general dermatology topics such as clinical and preventive dermatology, epidemiology of cutaneous diseases, dermatological manifestations of systemic disease, hair and nail disorders, skin cancer, and many more. This prep course will also include an audience response system for participants to examine and test their knowledge of more than 100 Kodachrome images. This will provide residents with the visual guidance needed to effectively evaluate, diagnose, and manage all forms of skin disease.

RESIDENT FOCUSED TRACK

Also new this year, throughout the conference, specific talks and workshops of most relevance for the resident attendee will be highlighted in the meeting agenda.

POSTER ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS

General Poster Session
This session is judged in advance by members of the ODAC and Journal of Drugs in Dermatology (JDD) Advisory Boards.

Eighth Annual ARTE Poster Competition

This session is exclusively for resident poster submissions. All submissions should have a focus on current innovations and discoveries in the field of dermatology. The winner of the poster competition will receive an award and their abstract will be published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology (JDD).

All posters will be judged onsite by the ODAC Department Chair Council.

Submitting parties receive automatic notification that the poster submission has been received. However, due to the high volume of submissions, additional acknowledgement may not be sent unless the poster is accepted by the review committee.

Abstract submissions are reviewed by a committee comprised of healthcare professionals serving on the ODAC and JDD advisory boards. Conference managers also review all abstracts. Content is evaluated based on the quality and relevance of topic, educational value, timeliness, and clearly identified objectives. ODAC reserves the right to make final decisions regarding acceptance of abstracts for poster presentation sessions.

General Poster Session*
Licensed healthcare providers whose posters are accepted for presenting are given a reduced registration fee of 50% off the current fee. 50% off cannot be applied to industry or non-licensed healthcare providers.

Annual ARTE Poster Competition*
Residents and Fellows who have posters accepted for presentation will be awarded a priority ARTE in Dermatology Scholarship to attend ODAC. The ARTE in Dermatology Scholarship program supports a specialized track of the ODAC conference that is specifically designed by key thought-leaders to meet the needs of dermatology residents in training. The ARTE in Dermatology Scholarship program offers educational and networking activities with an acute focus on the most important issues facing residents today: concentration on core therapeutic areas, insight into board review, understanding practice management, and an introduction to aesthetic practices. Residents whose posters are accepted but are not in the ARTE scholarship program can receive 50% of reduced registration fee.

*Once your poster has been accepted, you will be given information on how to register for ODAC as a Poster Presenter.
